Hi. I think their Caucasian's skin gets much worse than usual during dry season besides their skin is really dry and crusty with no oil compared to Asian and other.

While some individuals may experience problem skin conditions, there has been no link between skin color and skin problems. It has been noted however that because moisture is easier to see on darker skinned people (because of the contrast) many assume darker skinned people have oilier complections.

Don't know about that. I'm Asian, and my skin gets really dry (flaky too) during the winter seasons. I would go through 2-3 economy size Vaseline (or any lotion I can get my hands on) tubs to combat against my dryness. I also had to put in a central humidifier because my nose would get so dry that I would start getting nose bleeds.
Anyways, here are some tips:
- Like I said before, lot's of lotion and when I mean lotion, I mean the good heavy thick stuff. Vaseline is my all time favs for feet, knees, elbows, and inside my nose. Shea butter is also a good alternative as well (also a natural sunscreen).
- Don't take long hot showers because it drys out the natural oils in your skin. Warm short ones are the best.
- After shower slather on the lotion/cream.
- Consider purchasing a humidifier. Not only it helps with your breathing, but it helps moisterize your skin as well.
- I also switched to those soft soaps rather than the bar.
- Drink lots of water.

I don't know about the ethnic/racial idea proposed here, but where you need heating in winter, it makes skin drier. Some have more troubles than others.
